Getting Started

Logging in to the AUCloud Portal

1. Go to the appropriate URL, depending on the community where your service is located.

2. Enter the organisational login credentials provided.

   

3. On your first login, you will be prompted to enter the memorable word provided to you. Enter only the highlighted characters from your memorable word.

   

   Note

   For example, if your word is "academic" in the above scenario, characters 2,4 and 8 would be 'c', 'd' and 'c' respectively.

4. The QR code will appear which needs to be scanned into a One-Time Password (OTP) Authenticator app such as Google Authenticator. The authenticator will add an account which will generate a six-digit code which will be required for subsequent logins.

   

5. Once you have successfully logged into the portal, you will be presented with the dashboard.
